### 3/5 — Good game, but…

*2026-08-11, version 1.8.7*

I would have bought this game, I was really enjoying it, however, it made my iPad so hot that I realized I should uninstall it. Too bad.

### 3/5 — Level 19?

*2026-08-10, version 1.8.7*

Has anyone made it past level 19 when the boat appears you give it gas and the hunter tells you no more tasks to complete?

### 1/5 — Constant bugs

*2026-03-10, version 1.8.7*

Last time I played I had to stop due to not being able to progress , I reinstalled the game 6 months later - started from scratch and now the same thing - you get to the boat but can’t refuel as the icon to do so is locked to inside the cabin and there is no way to complete the task :/

### 2/5 — Needs a map

*2026-01-10, version 1.8.7*

Game is ok but really need a map to remind us where each resource is located

### 1/5 — لعبة كلها إعلانات

*2025-09-26, version 1.8.7*

مستحيل تلعب وانت مرتاح كل شوي اعلان تخلص من اعلان تدخل في اعلان

### 5/5 — 챕터2에서 안되는 이유

*2025-09-18, version 1.8.7*

보트 타는 위치가 산장 밑에 깔려있어서 산장에 막혀서 지나가지를 못해서 그 위에 서지를 못해서 다음 챕터로 못 넘어가는거임. 업데이트를 해서 위치조정 수정이 필요함.

### 3/5 — データ消去された

*2025-09-10, version 1.8.7*

久しぶりに開いたらめちゃくちゃ進めてたデータが消されて最初からにされた。
楽しく時間掛けでやってた分、すごく腹立たしい。

### 1/5 — 進めない

*2025-08-13, version 1.8.6*

lv 20から進めなくなった。アップデートを待ってほっておいたら、最初からリセットされた。修正されたのかと思って、進めたが同じ位置で進めなくなった。すっごい不満感が残るゲーム

### 1/5 — ショック

*2025-07-30, version 1.8.6*

アプデ待ちだったのに、久々に開いたらデータ消えて最初からになった😇

### 1/5 — 廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告廣告
